[Pulp-list] package filer question

I agree Joel. For now we'll go ahead and do the metadata update until we figure out an efficient way of updating package metadata for a subset of packages. The side effect of this change would be your clones might run a bit longer. I opened a bug for this issue here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783485 . i'll try to look into it soon.

Prad, 

After I deleted the master and clone repos and recreated them, that is the result I get. I think I had some corruption earlier. It would be nice to see a repo generation for clones. One, I'm very apprehensive to schedule a full package set update in production when yum update shows it's going to update packages we want locked. Two, it can be time consuming to parse through a package update log for a few hundred machines when it contains false positives. Thoughts? 

Thank you, 

Joel

Hey Joel: 

This is what I think is happening, Your original repo has no filter, it still has a reference to the package. A clone operation does not regenerate the metadata and it reuses the parents metadata and that probably why you still see that via yum check-update. The package is still blacklisted, and will not be served. Try installing the update and see if pulp is serving the package. You should get a 404. We could trigger a repo generation in case a clone operation uses filters. May be thats the solution to keep the filesystem + db in sync with metadata in case of filters. The reason we dont currently generate metadata is to keep the clone as close to the parent as possible and also to make the clone fast(as reop generation can be expensive)

I'm having an issue with a repo filter carrying over to the consumer. This repo is a clone of rh5-live, without the filter. I've verified the packages have been removed but they still show up under yum check-update and are available via yumdownloader from a client bound to the rh5-prd repo. And the consumer shows the number of packages available higher than the number of packages in the rh5-prd repo. Any ideas?
